This is a guest post from former GRS staff writer Donna Freedman.
I’ve been in debt just once: during and after a two-year-long divorce, a time during which I was also a midlife university student. Good times!
Nineteen months after the divorce decree, I zeroed out my legal debt. I also took a deep breath for the first time in years. Unfortunately, I had no idea what to do with the extra money each month.
What I should have done: Visit a fee-only financial planner.
